MenuThe hundred road cols 2000 » -100 road cols of western continental Europe
Corinne DAMERON (CC N°5187) offers us this challenge :
Climb a selection of one hundred road cols on the Western European continent at 2000 metres or more, selected in September 2023.
Cols selected by country concerned: Andorra (4) Austria (7) mainland Spain (6) France (27) Italy (43, including 10 border cols or cols duplicating those of other countries or tunnels) Romania (2) and Switzerland (21). It should be noted that the border cols can be chosen by the country and only count once.
This challenge is open to members and non-members of the Club des Cent Cols. It can also be the basis for the first hundred cols for a new member, or simply an incentive to do a bit of sightseeing in Europe’s mountainous regions. Mountain bikers, sharpen up your calves!
To tell you a bit more about some of the cols in this challenge, our friend Gérard GALLAND CCC 933 offers you an informative document (with some photos in 3 albums) that you can find by clicking on this link:

How it works
To register for this challenge, you need to fill in the registration form and accept the rules of the Club des Cent Cols. Please rename the file with your name.
The cols must be climbed in accordance with the rules of the Club des Cent Cols.
Cols climbed before registering for the challenge may be counted.
The100 cols in the Challenge are those listed in the Catalogue on the date the Challenge was created, and this list is definitive. If, at a later date, cols are added in the area covered by the various additions, they will not be taken into account for the Challenge.
The ‘Les cent Cols routiers 2000’ gold challenge is awarded after completing all the cols on the list drawn up in September 2023.
The silver challenge is awarded after completing 75% of the list of cols.
The bronze challenge is awarded after crossing 50% of the list of cols.
There are 8 border cols shared by two countries, so you only need to climb them on one side to count them. They can only be counted once.
There’s no set time limit, so if you’re a mountain lover, treat yourself.
Participants are self-sufficient, but it is strongly recommended that they wear a helmet and follow cycling safety rules.
Each country has its own traffic regulations, which must be complied with.
A gold, silver or bronze certificate is awarded once the required number of cols have been climbed. Participants have the option of printing out the details of the Challenge themselves, or having them sent to them by the person in charge of the challenge for the sum of six euros payable to the Club des Cent Cols (€6. This sum includes the cost of the special paper, printing and postage). It is also possible to hand-deliver the Challenge at Club des Cent Cols events. Please ask for this service.
A Roll of Honour of the holders of each Challenge and the registered participants (with their degree of progression) will be drawn up. Initially, this list will be available from the person responsible for the challenge, and the conditions for its inclusion in the publications of the 100 Cols Club will be decided at a later date.
A number will be assigned in the order of entries.
The annual declaration is made by sending the completed excel file to the person in charge of the Challenge: , who will analyse the results and draw up the Table of Honour.
The challenge cols can be downloaded here. Don’t forget to enter your name and, above all, your member number if you are one hundred cols in the Excel table, otherwise it could be lost. Please rename the file with your name.
